Where's the grass?

Sheep trying to stay cool in the shade but find some grass to graze. They are already getting hay and a small amount of grain and it's just July, going to be a costly year for hay. I think the different wormer I gave them is working, hope it will last. If they can keep the fleeces on for 2 more months it will be long enough for spinning, it is about 3" now and very clean, but things can change in a hurry. They seem to have adjusted to the heat a little better and moving to the wooded pasture helped, now all the sheep are back together at one pasture. They still sort off into two different flocks in the morning but end back together to bed down for the night. There is one certain place where they sleep that they come back to ever year when it is hot. And they say sheep are dumb.
